Hello all,

I have an 800+ MB TIFF stack, and when I convert it to binary and save, the
file size remains 800+ MB.  I would have expected the binary file to be
considerably smaller than the stack of 8-bit TIFFs.  Is there something that
I'm doing wrong, or is it my lack of understanding of different file types?

Many thanks,
Dan
